Single Plant AZ Grow

[Prescott480]

New here. I did originally start this on the newbie thread. Feel free to check out my short history (https://www.rollitup.org/t/growing-in-hell.1022065/). I'll continue with any grow updates here in the grow thread.
I am growing in Arizona, recently transplanted and watered this girl. Any suggestions, questions, or comments are always great!

 

[Mr. Cheetah]

wait for the pot to feel light again before next watering, good luck!

Plant is 9 days old. Currently has been transplanted in Black Gold for about 48 hours. Water retention seems more adequate in the hot AZ heat compared to the the Vigoro all purpose stuff I had this girl growing in for the first 7 days. Stem seems strong, leaves seem perky and strong. I don't believe I could get a good enough picture, but it looks like I'll have another set of leaves soon. I can seed the tiny, tiny bud (probably not the correct term) coming in on top. Currently keeping exclusively outdoors due to strong suggestion. Girl seems happy.

Also, (possibly) have another seed (Boomtown) germinating in a few drips of hydrogen peroxide and some distilled water.

So, plant is 11 days old and is definitely stunted. Just using Black Gold soil, using distilled water to water when pot feels light. From research it seems I messed up the watering or my roots still haven't set. Any suggestions or questions?

Quit using distilled water.
Tap water works just fine and adds a little minerals.
Add 50% perlite to your mix when you pot up. It will help drainage and growth.
Most importantly...have patience.
Best of luck.

It did start to stunt around the time I changed the water. I figured, because Arizona has such hard water. Thanks for the suggestions.

Okay, mixed a fresh batch of Miracle-Gro perlite and some Black Gold soil. Transplanted to larger container as tap root was about 3-4 inches long, but only a couple very small branching roots. Hopefully the perlite and the larger container helps. Pre-watered container to about 20% runoff. Going to hang up now and see how she does.

Skipped a few changes, but due to leaf burn I'll be running a 75w LED and a 30w CFL. Currently have to shelf the two new 90w LEDs until I can find a better mounting point.

 

[Prescott480]

Second set of Trues coming in.
Watering every 72 hours now.
18-6 light schedule with a 30w CFL and a 75w LED.

 

[Prescott480]

Should I clip the burnt tips or is it safe to leave them be?

Week 4
Day 3

Nothing done. New leaves have not yet shown any signs of burn so it seems it was probably from me giving it to much light at some point earlier on and then fixing it.

What became of the grow? I tried one but the heat this summer just fried it

 

[Prescott480]

Good question @Fireman57
Ending up passing away in a cup of water. By this point I know realize I had severe lockout and root rot. My problem was I tried beating the heat... Dumb idea. Then into the non air conditioned garage I tried.... and nooooowww we are growing in a tent inside.

You can grow out here obviously, ain't doing it outside haha
